:'''Nominator's rationale:''' [[WP:SMALLCAT]]. Follows on from [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 September 11#Peerage titles with only one holder]]. [[User:Opera hat|Opera hat]] ([[User talk:Opera hat|talk]]) 14:15, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
*'''Support generally but with some alternative outcomes''' -- This is not quite like the one-member categories, as we do not have an article on the peerage, only a bio of the one holder. All those I sampled were 2-member categories. We certainly do not need categories for each creation of a title. I have often needed to look for a person by his title. By far the best way of finding them is by going to the article on the title, and then clicking on the article in the list section of it. In the case of Edinburgh and Gloucester, I would prefer to merge to the two separate titles. For Yarmouth, I would prefer a rename to [[:Category:Earls of Yarmouth]], adding the 2nd creation (a countess) and the third creation, as a subsidiary title for the Marquess of Hertford, adding the peerage article to the category (not the sons who used it as a courtesy title. Similarly Warrington should be renamed to drop the date and have [[Earl of Stamford]] added. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 14:14, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
::So just to clarify, you'd prefer to merge
::*[[:Category:Dukes of Gloucester and Edinburgh]] to [[:Category:Dukes of Gloucester]] (and also add the articles to [[:Category:Dukes of Edinburgh]])
::*[[:Category:Earls of Warrington (1690)]] to [[:Category:Earls of Warrington]], and
::*[[:Category:Earls of Yarmouth (1679)]] to [[:Category:Earls of Yarmouth]]?
::I don't have a problem with any of that. [[User:Opera hat|Opera hat]] ([[User talk:Opera hat|talk]]) 05:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
